Well, usually, I don't have a list of Pokemon I will always use; I have a list of Starters that I'll never use. My list is Squirtle, Chikorita, Torchic, Piplup. Squirtle never seems to match my style, and it always seems under-leveled in terms of stats. I can't stand Chikorita, and only use it when I've completed 2 second-generation games with the other two starters. I have nothing against Torchic (you really can't argue with Blaziken), but the other two are just cooler. Piplup... Let's just say that I don't like it, and save everybody from the rage-filled explanation.
